What is the best comparable iem on the market these days? I've been searching for a replacement for the detailed sound and the comfort of my dying pfe 112 - best iem I've owned.

Looking for a detailed BA IEM Anyone owned both of these? How do they compare? Many thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion, from reviews and past experience I feel I am after an Armature driver as I prefer detail and resolution over warmth. Do you think the IT01 can compete in this respect? I am on the fence about buying a Nuforce HEM4 on sale for £120.

I'm in the UK, Wouldn't want to spend much over £150 I liked the clarity, low amounts of distortion and very good comfort. I generally like a flater signature and mostly used the grey filters with the PFE If I could improve one thing about the PFEs it would be to up the amount of sub bass...

My Phonak PFE 122 finally gave up on me after many years. I loved the clarity of sound from the BA drivers and am looking for a similar IEM that won't break the bank. Any recommendations?

Don't know if it's been posted before, but if you are in the UK there's a great deal on Denon AH-1100's in sainsburys, £39! http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/sol/shop/technology/headphones/124124005_denon_ahd1100_over_ear_headphones.html

Also looking at these microlab's http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SP-002-ML&groupid=702&catid=22&subcat=719 Anyone heard them? EDIT: Thanks for the help, ended up buying the Microlabs SOLO6C.. had a 6" woofer, remote and some decent reviews, seemed a good deal.

Hi there, I need to purchase these speakers today and was just having a thought.. How would say, they active Edifier's compare to a budget hi-fi set of around £100? Thanks for any info.

Would you say something like this would be a better all rounder: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Edifier-C3-Speaker-Satellites-amplifier/dp/B001F51IVO   They will be using them for music, movies and games, or would you stick to 2.0 speakers?    

Thanks for the reply.. can anyone comment on how they would compare with M-Audio AV40's? http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000RPT0UE/ref=asc_df_B000RPT0UE5679788?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&tag=googlecouk06-21&linkCode=asn&creative=22206&creativeASIN=B000RPT0UE

I am looking to get some computer speakers as a christmas gift. I don't know much about active speakers so would like to know what is good for no more than the £60-70 point.   they can be a 2.1 system or just a pair. Cheers for any advice.

Yes, I was just thinking that.. perhaps I used the wrong title for the thread, there is no need for it to sound close to the HD650.

I am quite happy with the setup I have with my HD650's, However I would be happy for you to recomend me some new amps I can look into, but my MKV is serving me well for now. I am looking to get a new set of phones just for a different 'flavour' in sound if that makes sense.

Thanks for ther replies, I have considered the AD2000, but it is just far to expensive here in the UK £400+ How would something like the Shure SRH840 compare to the DT880's

I am looking for a new set of phones to use along side my HD650's, as much as i love the Senn's sound I would like to have something a little more detailed, clearer plus bigger soundstage would be great. I have been looking into the DT880/990 600ohm. Any other Suggestions?

Anyone know how the AKG K 271 II would sound compared to the M50 and HD25 and the sony v6? There are so many options for this type of headphone, I think i may need to buy them all from thomann.de and see which i think is best. then send back the rest.

The MDR-7509HD's look good, quite pricey in the uk (around £190!) not really looking to spend that much, but will look a bit more into them and keep them in mind.   And my HD650's are great, but they leak alot, no good for recording

Thats interesting, I was under the impression that the HD 25's were quite neutral phones and the m50 and 770 were more bass heavy. Would this be the same for micro-detail's in a recording? what phone would show the most detail?   I got to say i am still tending to like the senn's design as...

Quote: I know, I was taking a listen to Rabbit Deam, it sounds great.

Ok. good point about vocalists. If i go for the hd25's which version would you recomend?... There seem to be so many.

I record piano, guitar, vocals.. maybe drums in the future.

Thanks for the suggestions Rexaeterna but i really require fully closed phones in order for no sound to leak into the mic when recording.

Very interesting, never heard of German Maestro before.   Anyone know how they measure up to the headphones I mentioned above?

Looking to get some closed headphones for a home studio i am setting up, isolation must be good plus good sound quality and comfort.   Interested in DT770, HD25 II and ATH-M50.   How do these compare for use in the studio?   Cheers, Neil

If anyone could help with some input on these phones or other suggestions it would be greatly appreciated, as i need to order them some time today!
